Post by: Olderndirt on October 10, 2017, 10:29:41 AM: Do you know if Larry makes a ‘62 Fairlane body? I didn’t know Red Farmer drove a ‘64 Fairlane. I have seen pictures of his ‘62/‘63 Fairlane, but not a ‘64. All real Fairlanes have fins in my opinion.
As a youth I did stunts in a ‘62 Fairlane Tudor sedan that at the very least, should have left me crippled for life. Of all the cars I have owned the Fairlane was the hardest to part with.

Post by: Olderndirt on October 10, 2017, 11:47:15 AM: I understand that perfectly. Although if I were to build some replicas, Red would be High on the short list of racers I might be tempted to replicate. Maybe it because we’re both redheads, or were back in the day. I’m not fond of the gold and white color scheme either, but it’s a little better on the cars that had the larger red numbers, and letters.
